Builder's Guide to Room Additions by Jack P. Jones
Building room additions and conversion is a multi-billion-dollar business every year.
If you're already experienced in home building, you have the skills you need to succeed in this lucrative niche of the construction field. But it takes more than knowing how to frame straight and true.
Here you'll find how to build just about every item needed in constructing room additions:
- What's required for footings, foundations and slabs.
- How to plan floor, wall and ceiling framing.
- How to design and construct basement, attic ,and main floor stairs.
- How to install sheathing and roofing.
- How to install interior and exterior finishes.
- How to design the best bathroom for the space.
- What's required in installing fireplaces and chimneys.
- How to tackle electrical work in additions.
And there's more. Besides the actual construction, you'll find help in designing, planning and estimating your jobs.
This manual shows you how to tackle items that are unique to rooms additions -like what is required for ceiling joists for second-story conversions, requirements for bathroom additions, and how to complete attic conversions.
Each job you take will be challenges and the greater the challenge, the better your profit potential. The trick is to identify problems and solve them before they dissolve your profit and erode your reputation.
This book covers the problems you're likely to run into the converting basements, attics, garages, and adding rooms to existing houses-from the footings to the roof.
